Tweeps say a prayer for my sister, she been in the hospital for the last couple days. My heart is heavy rt now.

Here’s to hoping the condition of Williams’ sister improves and he’s back with the team sooner rather than later.

The Blazers play in Minnesota tomorrow night so I would guess that it’s likely he misses tomorrow’s game as well.

Either way, Portland will be without 9 points and nearly five assists per game on Friday night. Other Blazers will have to do their part handling the ball as Williams averages the fourth-most touches, 54.1 per game, according to NBA.com’s player tracking data.
